"special dice", "special prepared cards", and "electro magnets". Special dice included staples such as white or transparent "filled dice" or "shaped percentage dice" but also items said to be proprietary to the firm: "tapping dice", "gravitation dice", "new idea crap dice" and "novelty dice". In the case of special prepared cards, that is marked cards, the firm claimed to have been leaders in their manufacture since the end of 19th Century. The cards listed in the catalogue were "marked for size only"; to have the suit show as well cost a further 25 cents. Prepared cards also included "luminous readers" and the associated equipment ("ruby ray" glasses and visors or eye shades). The firm's "Giant Electro Magnet" was promoted as "the latest development in electromagnetism for the control of dice". It was available as a separate component or incorporated in a regulation card table, and used with transparent "electric dice". Pinball and other coin-op games Pinball and other coin-op games sold under the Evans brand included the following: Kings of the Turf (1935) - Pinball Big Ten (1935) - Pinball Olympic Games (1935) - Pinball Tango (1935) - Pinball Clipper (1936) - Pinball Lite A Basket (1936) - Pinball Poker-eno (1936) - Pinball Roll-ette (1936) - Pinball Ski-Ball (1940) - Other Play Ball (1941) - Pinball Bat-A-Score (1948) - Pinball Ski-Ball was protected by United States patent No. 2,181,984, granted on 5 December 1939 to Joe H. Warner of Chicago, Illinois and assigned to Duane W. Price, also of Chicago. However all 5 claims in that patent specify that they are for a bowling machine. This would be very easy to get around with a competing manikin based Skee Ball or golf machine. Jukeboxes In December 1948, H. C. Evans purchased the complete phonography inventory of Mills Novelty Company of Chicago, a manufacturer of jukeboxes - including a model named the Constellation (model number 951). Mills had become financially troubled by January 1948. In 1949, H. C. Evans launched its first jukebox, also named the Constellation (model number 135). This was followed by the Jubilee (in 1952, model numbers 245 and 278), the Century (in 1953, model number 2045), and the Holiday (in 1953, model number 4045). In addition, a 50 select jukebox, the Evans Jewel, was introduced in 1954; only one is known to exist at this time. Karts A couple of karts were sold under the Evans brand.
